The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Moldova rejects the accusations of the Russian Federation that Tuesday evening's intervention at the Russian Embassy in Chisinau violated the 1961 Vienna Convention. According to a statement, the action of the Moldovan authorities was carried out in line with the law and international commitments, aimed at protecting public safety.
